Parenting… Like You’ve Never Heard it Before!

Parenting… Like You’ve Never Heard it Before!

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker and Human Behavior Expert Connie Podesta As a former therapist and educator - one thing I've been asked A LOT about throughout my career is KIDS. Of all shapes, sizes, and ages. How to raise them well? How to manage teenagers? How to teach them to be respectful and kind? How to handle teach them to be independent OF you -- rather than dependent ON you. There's a lot to take in, and parenting, by far, is one of the most important jobs most of us will ever take on. That's why I created a video series and playlist just for parents with ten powerful (and Read More

Millennial Alert: How to Handle Older Folks in the Workplace

Posted by Connie Podesta

12 Insights from Someone Who’s Been There, Done That By Motivational Business Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta I recently spoke to a large audience made up mostly of millennials. And they had tons of questions about working with “older people”.  And I realized ... hey, that’s me! I am always teaching people how to deal with the millennials, but I never teach them how to deal with us. So, in fun, here are a few good tips when working with the rest of us that just might come in handy. Whichever side of the generational fence you’re on – these will be good tips to take with you! 13 Top Read More

How to Get Out of Your Own Way

Posted by Connie Podesta

Life Totally Changes When You Do By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta I recently made a Facebook post that went something like this: “So what's REALLY stopping you? From going for your dreams? Taking that trip? Taking care of yourself? Living life to the fullest? I can tell you what it is not - it's not someone else, something else, time or even money. We make happen what we make a priority. Isn't it time you moved yourself up the list of things that are IMPORTANT?” It was immediately followed by a volley of questions, messages, and emails from readers who wanted to know Read More

What I Discovered in the Nothingness…

What I Discovered in the Nothingness…

Posted by Connie Podesta

And How it’s Changed Everything By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta This vacation was my best ever. I did nothing. We didn't sightsee. I didn't learn anything new. I didn't read anything non-fiction. I literally -- did nothing productive! I read a romance novel. Drank mint and cucumber water. Watched Netflix. Had a crunchy salad. Walked along the ocean. Meditated. Had a watermelon salad. Snuggled. Snacked. Watched the sunset. Had a great white wine. Walked some more. Ate wonderful seafood. Slept. And slept some more. Floated in the ocean. Had a fresh fruit smoothie. Got a Read More

Finding Your Balance.

Finding Your Balance.

Posted by Connie Podesta

It's Not About Equal Time  by Keynote Speaker and Human Relationship Expert Connie Podesta As a motivational keynote speaker in today's sometimes chaotic world, I'm often asked by clients to deliver a message on BALANCE and I'm happy to share.  The truth is balance will never, EVER be about equal time.  It's just not.  For anyone who works, enjoys a career, has outside interests, volunteers, is a parent, is a spouse or partner, has aging parents -- you name it - you can't equal out the time. “Balancing Home and Career” gives the illusion that there’s a magical way to equalize these two Read More

How to Turn Limitations Into Strengths

How to Turn Limitations Into Strengths

Posted by Connie Podesta

And See Yourself in a Whole New Light by Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta So it’s a no brainer that we need to leverage our strengths.  If…we even know what they are.  Unfortunately most people are so focused on what they can’t do or wish they could do, that they don’t even take time to realize what they can bring to the table.  So step one.  Figure out exactly what it is you do really well.  And be proud of it.  Let people know about it.  Find ways to bring those talents into your job.  Your relationships.  Your quest for success.  Even your health. Here’s a tip:  Don‘t Read More

Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta - Procrastination

HAPPINESS Doesn’t PROCRASTINATE

HAPPINESS Doesn’t PROCRASTINATE

Posted by Connie Podesta

Keeping Pace with Joy, Balance, and Success By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Procrastination is the silent killer of ambition, productivity, achievement, even peace and balance. And most importantly, it undermines your own HAPPINESS. Trust me, putting things off causes more stress, worry, and insecurity about the future than just taking a deep breath and taking the first step. Where to start?  ANYWHERE.  When I find myself trying to avoid something, I look for the easiest place to start. The cheapest. The least frightening. The most accessible. The most comfortable. The Read More

How to Get People On Board Podcast

Posted by Connie Podesta

An Interview with Rory Vaden I had a lot to share in a recent interview with Rory Vaden, a leader from the Daily Discipline Blog.

Balance: It’s NEVER About Time

Balance: It’s NEVER About Time

Posted by Connie Podesta

Changing Your Perspective on What it REALLY Means to Find Balance By Motivational Keynote Speaker and Change Expert Connie Podesta BALANCE?  It seems like everyone’s talking about it right now, but more often than not, people are struggling to make it all feel like it’s evened out. The truth is?  It’s never going to be EVEN.  We live in busy times and lead busy lives and work takes up an incredible amount of our waking hours.  And while that is a reality – it doesn’t HAVE to be a negative. When writing the book on balance for my 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd, it’s a topic we Read More

Want More BALANCE?

Want More BALANCE?

Posted by Connie Podesta

A Change and a Choice By Keynote Speaker and Change Expert Connie Podesta I can just imagine what you are thinking right now. "Seriously? Where do I find more time when I'm so busy I can barely breathe? In a holiday season where I should be putting other people first and me last? " I hear you. I've been there. But let's be honest. It's not a matter of finding a few minutes--it's the reluctance to change your routine, prioritize differently or rethink your options that keeps you so very busy. Two things must happen if you truly want some balance in your life. One, you must truly Read More
